Its not twisted logic. Example

I am in the computer biz. I know how to sell computers.
You have computers you have not been able to sell and are willing to let go at a ridiculous price.

Do I make a profit even tho you had a loss ??

OK more approp. example

TXN is losing money in the dram plant. They have 1600 employees. They have high overhead. They built it for $600 mil. They want to get rid of it since they are losing $200 mil per year.

MU comes in and buys for $200 mil stock. Lays off 800 people, has low overhead, runs the fab same as TXN did with 1600 people.
PRofitable ??

If they did their calcs. I am sure.
Is the plant now worth $600 mil?? Get an appraisal. If they say YES. put it in your balance sheet.

Works for me.

Thats a whole seperate biz. finding undervalued assets and making a profit. Happens in Real estate all the time.
